Covering up the massive number of fatalities caused by China’s resurging pandemic has become a major task for Beijing’s health officials, as photos in international news media reveal long lines of hearses, makeshift morgues, and body bags lining hospital hallways. A leaked document from the State Council’s health advisory group recently revealed how local governments are enforcing China’s policy of limiting outside access to funeral parlors.

The Epoch Times recently obtained a copy of an internal bulletin circulated by the State Council’s Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism. The notice was marked “no publication.”
